187mph from 300bhp in a 7 series?

Actually, he doesn't say what measurement the 187 is, so I'd believe 187km/h....

The 187 claim is BS if it is MPH. The American e38 740 is limited to 250Km/h or 155Mph and can easily achieve that. However, even if it is unlimited you wouldn't get much past 165mp/h because of the drive ratio.

Here's a shot a of standard 740il doing 250+km/h

 
Sorry broseph, Ive never driven a porsche before but from what Ive heard from owners of AWD porsches they are quite docile when sideways and want to straighten out and go into understeer.

And think about what you just said. Think about it. "Want to straighten out and go into understeer"

That would make, I dunno, drifting kind of difficult. Which is what I was saying.

And you are clearly new around here.
 
Someone lure Cody back into his cage before he starts attacking and/or biting random passerby.

Again. :lol:

No, its what normal AWD cars do when sideways. Remember most people call a minor powerslide a drift. brolenthless.

Do you see why I might be getting annoyed here? Just maybe? You said one thing, and when I went with it, you apparently changed your mind. Have you ever really driven a car?

I think you might be misreading my posts. By what most people call a drift, which is a small powerslide less than 5degree angle usually, an AWD car will try to straighten itself out. Giving the driver a feeling of control and what not. Same can be said about a RWD car underpowered with an open rear diff. Like mine.

Like I've said before, im mildly autistic so communication is not my greatest thing. Bromiscuous.

No, I am fully aware of what you are talking about. I've drifted AWD cars (actually drifting) and I know about this. And it is a huge pain in the ass to maintain any angle smoothly.

The kid in question likely got the tail to barely step out and has convinced himself he was drifting.
 
997TT is AWD broski.

never call me "broski" again. Got it? Good.

Sorry broseph

brometheus?

brolenthless.

Bromiscuous.

Sounds about right Brotarian.

I usually say that anyway, whether on the 'net, or XBL/PSN.

*sigh* I'm starting to wonder if joining these forums was a big mistake:guilty:
It wasn't saying "bro" that was the issue. It was that the thread was taken completely off-topic with people coming up with bro-words. Using bro casually in a post the way I would say man or dude is fine. But when it becomes the primary topic of discussion it becomes an off-topic ramble.

Noted.
 
Aw man, even I'm waiting to see the evidence of this Porsche now.

Come on Feral Pigeon, either man up & say you haven't got one or show us some pics…

I'll show pics when I can find my damn camera... I hope my cat didn't hide it again... By the way, anyone need proof I have a cat? That, I have pics of.
